Thompson, H. Sevening, Joseph Knowland, Dell Linder- mann, George H. Payne, Columbus Bart. lett and F. W. icklen. The only change made in the directory was that ¥. W. Van Sicklen succeeded 1. L.

ALAMEDA, Cav., Jan. 14.—The death of Hugh Dimond, the Fruitvale capitalist, is likely to_prove a considerable loss to Alameda. Mr. Dimond recently pur- chased the southezst corner of Lincoln avenue and Park street, a corner that was brought into great business prominence by the recent moving and permanent re- establishment of the main depot of the broad-gauge railroad. On this corneér he was planning to erect a fine business block which would have been of great advantage and benefit to that part of the city. This improvement is now likely to be greatly delayed, if not permanentiy postponed. Not a Fair Show. ALAMEDA, CaL., Jan. 14.—A letter has been received by the City Trustees from the Sterling Supply Company complainin, that the plans adopted for additional machinery to the electric plant do not ad- mit of fair competition.

The manager of the protesting coripany was present and voiced his pro- test as well as wrote it. No action was tfi:}kgn upon it, however, and the letter was ed, DEATH OF HUGH DIMORD, A Pioneer of '50 Who Took the Basis of a Fortune From the Earth, WAS THE FOUNDER OF DIMOND. | His Ventures in Mariposa, San Fran- cisco and Fruitvale Were All Successful.

BERKELEY, CarL.,Jan. 14—Two bur- glaries were committed at East Berkeley station early this morning. The cigar- store of George H. Stricker and the candy and icecream parlors of W. C. Mason were entered, the burglar evidently being the same in both cases. Entrance was effected from the rear of Stricker’s establishment. The burglar en- tered Stricker’s rear yard from a vacant lot off Center sireet. brace and bit were used on the doors of the places en- tered, a_hole about four inches in diam- eter being made near the handle.

Mr. Dimond was born sixty-six years ago in County Kerry, Ireland, and when tut 14 years of age he took up his residenc in New York. According to the custum of that time he served an aporenticeship and when he was 19 he was a skilled mecha At that age the gold fever broke outin California and Hugh Dimond at onc struck out for the West. He sailed from New York onthe Cherokee and came to | San Francisco by way of Panama, enter- ing the Golden Gate on June 22, 1850. After securing an outfit the young pio- neer went el once to Mariposa and en tered on the active life of a miner. Being an expert machinist and a young man of heavy weight and great | Strength, he met with success, and at the end of two years he had a handsome sur- plusin hand. He then entered into a vart- nership with C. D. O’Sullivan and W. F. Cashman and opened a general store, proved as profitable as a gold mine, and the firm made money at a lively rate. In 1862 the firm removed from Mariposa to San Francisco and opened Gp a wholesale ligtior business under the name of O'Sul- | livan, Cashman & Co., Mr. Dimond being the *“Co.” The firm was and large profits were made. It remained in existence for many years, and its suc- cessor to-day is the wholesale house of Shea, Bocqueraz & Co. of 527 Front street. In 1867 Mr. Dimond purchased a large tract of land at I'ruitvale and at once made his residence on this side of the bay. At that time the district was an open country with very few’settlers, but Mr, Dimond cultivated his purchase and finally settlers built elegant residences and a few years ago the suburb took the name of Dimond and a postoffice was established there. The investment proved a very valuable one and when it was subdivided the owner added largcly to his wealth.

BERKELEY, CAL., Jan. 14.—The new management of the Berkeley Electric Lighting Company will at once place on the streets of Berkeley the twenty arc lights ordered by the Town Trustees last November and which the company, under its old management, refused to supply, on the ground that the company’s contract | with the town does not provide that the company should make extensions of the town-lighting system. John A. Britton, who is now president of the company, addressed the Town Trustees last night in regard to {he new lights and asked for an extension of time in which to introduce the lights. The re- quest was granted, and the new lights will be up by the middle of March.

The matter of the proposed new ern nce to the university grounds was discussed and a resolution was passed commending the projest, advocating the construction at Center street and pledging the town authorities of Berxeiey to aid the regents of the university in the en- forcement of such rules as may be made for the use of the entrance.

Ward and Precinct Boundaries. BERKELEY, Car., Jan. 14.—A compli- | cation of ward and precinet boundaries has arisen in Berkeley by reason of the changes in the boundary lines of some of the wards made by the new charger. Wards 1 and 3 were formerly divided from 6 and 7 by Gtant street, which was also the dividing line of the precincts for local or State eiections. The ward divid- ing line was moved west six blocks to Sac- | ramento street by the new charter, but the precinet for State or Supervisorial elections remains the same. The wards as defined in the new charter are each a precinct for the coming special elections, so that some residents of the | charter precinet I or 3 who register therein | are in danger of losing their votes in Su- | pervisorial_or Senatoral elections. They | are in precincts 1 and 3 according to Berke- ley’s municipal law, but not according to the boundaries as fixed for State and county elections. A special committee of the County Board of Supervisors is now investigating the difficulty. Increase of Students. BERKELEY, Caw, Jan. 14.—Recorder of the Facuities James Sutton stated to- day that the increase of new students this term over thatof last would be about sixry, the greater part of whom are specials.

The Blythe Company has filed an answer and protest to the application of Florence Blythe Hinckley for distribution of the estate. The answer denies all the allega- tions made in the petition; denies that Florence Blythe was the child of Thomas Blythe, or that he ever abopted her, or that she is entitled to his moncy, or that anything ever alleged in her favor has the least sembiance of truth in it. The protest was made by Mr. Holladay, attorney for the company, before Judge Coffey “yesterday, but his protest was denied. ~ He took an exception.

CREATE A GOOD IMPRESSION. It Is Thought That the Commissioners Will Ultimately Give the Position to Campbell. 0axLaND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco Carr,) 5 908 Broadway, Jan. 14. | The expected change in the head of the Fire Department was not made this after- noon. Just previous to the meeting Com- missioner Peirsol said that if William H. Fair were not appointed to-day he could not be appointed at all, as it looks as if Fair's chance was very different from his name. When the Board of Fire Commissioners met they were confronted with a pile of forty-seven communications, all of which were read by Clerk Spaulding. Without xception they asked the board to appoint Fred A. Campbell to the position of Chief of the Fire Department. The letters were evidently a surprise to the Commissioners, and as the letters were from men whose standing and motives could not possibly be questioned, the two Commissioners, Wilson und Peirsol, held a chort consulta- tion and no actiou was taken. The com- munications were written by the following men, who represent over $6,000,000 worth Nathan Rosenberg, J. A. Hill, 2 nan, William T. Gibbs, L. G. Cole, Dr. J. Russell, K. Shattuck, Bushell, atiinger Bros., Jonas S. Denison, W. B. Hardy, Fred heeline, George L. Fish, J. S. erce, George Samuels, James . It Girara, Mack Webber, Ferin D. B eson, James Wallace, D. rrell, Bercovich Bros., John War- Austin, A. C. Henry, Wiliiam P. Jone Mrs. M, K. Blake, E. P.Gray, J. Letter, Al Wood & Bro., Georee Taylor, Joseph Harris, J. 1. O'Brien, W. M. Watson, Ingler & Co., H. Alexander, H. O, Trowbridge, E. M. Long, C. Isaacs, James Hill. As Wilson and Peirsol have given out that their only desire in the matter is to appoint an eflicient man it would seem as it Mr. Campbell should get the position. A synopsis of the letters shows that he has lived in Oakland all his life and has never tasted a drop of liquor. His long insur- ance experience has made him familiar with the manner of constructien of every building in the city, and James Hill, who is an ex-chief of the Fire Department, tes- | tities that when Campbell was a fireman | under him he was one of the ablest men in the department. William H. Fair is a well-known South- ern Pacific engineer who left the railroad at the time of the strike. He has had no | experience in the Fire Department and | was not heard of till his candidacy was made known a few days ago. He has strong indorsemeuts as an experienced and able engineer and has lived in Oakland | nearly ail his life. As Wilson and Peirsol were both nomi- nated by the Republican party it is said | threy owe a debt of gratitude to Campbell, as he was chairman of the City Central | Committee that named the delegates to | the convention, as no primaries were held. Much has been saia lately about this political debt, and it is stated that the | Commissioners were at one time some- | what disposed to pay it. Now that Fair's | chance, according to Commissioner Peir- sol, has gone, the wishes of the Oakland and San Francisco underwriters will proba- | bly be complied with. ““We are only attending to the insurance | business,” said one of the writers of the | letters to-night, “‘and care not a fig for | | politics. Of course, we know that to the victors belong the spoils and that to the friends of the administration belengz the offices; but the Fire Department is differ- ent from all other branches of the city government. It means millions of dotlars put in peril if an incompetent man be placed in charge. We are satisfied with | Chief Lawton and would not have asked | for a change, but the board seems deter- mined upon one, so we want to see another competent man there. Mr. Fair is no doubt an able engineer, and is not a_poli- tician, but Campbell is a fireman and has | a practical knowledge of the work and is acquainted with the construction of all the large buildings of the city. If there is to be a change, from a purely business stand- point, we want to see Campbell put in, and Hioe doiikioas Wilson, Peirsol and Davie wiil do well if they decide on that choice.” Guardian of Eight Children. OAKLAND, Car,, Jan. 14.—Mrs. Lydia | Prescott, agent for the California Society | for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, has applied for letters of guardianshi upon Rebecca Thompson, aged 11, Jacob | Thompson, aged 7, and Ruth Thompson, | aged 3 years, their father, Israel Thomp- | son, being in the County Infirmary, ana unable to care for them; also, upon Resa | Menneman, a 14-year old girl, who has no mother and who refuses to live with her father; also, upon Annetta and Theresa Pajot, 13 and 14 years, or]phans, and for Eva Deil and George Deil, aged 8 and 6 vears, whose father and mother are sep- arated, the latter being charged with mal- treating and abandoning the children. Bound Over for Trisl. OAKLAND, Csn, Jan. 14.—Thomas ‘Ward, who made a murderous attack upon 2 number of Chinamen near Sunol re- cently, severely wounding one of them, had his preliminary examination at Pleasanton to-day. e was defended by C. Barber of S8an Francisco, but no testi- mony in his behalf w court held Ward for trial in bonds of $3009, John Caskie Insane. OAKLAND, Ca Jan. 14.—John Caskie, a dry-goods clerk, went suddenly insane | to-night at his home on Franklin street. He is a married man.
